Carbon knives (knives with a very high carbon content and without chromium additives) are sharper, easier to harpen, but require more maintenance they ARE NOT stainless steel. We always clean them after use - always wash with cold water and soap, not with abrasive materials and hot water. After washing, the carbon steel knives must be towel wiped very well, dried thoroughly, coated with a thin layer of olive oil or camellia oil and stored until their next use.
Knives made of carbon steel will acquire a gray finish over time. This is not negative nor does it affect the quality of the blade - on the contrary it prevents further oxidation of your carbon steel and can make your knife more resistant to other forms of corrosion. This patina is actualy a protective layer on your blade.
Use & Care
- Do not attempt to cut, hit or chop frozen products or bones, you will damage the edge.
- Use a sharpening stone to maintain sharpness of the blade.
- For best results, strop it on leather before every use
